Braised cabbage according to my mom's recipe
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Preparing stewed cabbage using my mom's recipe is very easy, and all the ingredients are affordable and usually on hand. If desired, you can add rice to the cabbage—it will turn into something similar to lazy cabbage rolls. I absolutely love this version too! Give it a try. Serve hot.

Step 2
Thinly shred the cabbage and place it into any thick-bottomed dish—I used a cauldron. Add 1 cup of water and simmer over low heat until the liquid evaporates. Then add 2-3 tablespoons of oil, salt to taste, and cook until fully done. Each person determines their preferred doneness. If you like it crunchy, it will take about 15 minutes; if you prefer it softer, about 30 minutes. This also depends on the type of cabbage used.
